SummaryThe pressure to rapidly deliver a broad variety of high-quality products to market, along with the shift from mass production to mass customization, affects the ability of electronics compa-nies to satisfy their customers’ needs while improving business performance.

Using digitalization for modern manu-facturing execution technologies helps printed circuit board (PCB) and box-build manufacturers to change and reconfigure production and quality processes at the speed required, while meeting increased customer demand, strict quality requirements and profit-ability constraints. They can contemporaneously realize faster time-to-market and improve their ability to compete in a rapidly changing, con-sumer-driven marketplace.

Solution overviewSiemens Opcenter Execution Electronics software provides the foundation for many top-tier electronics manufacturers and product innovators that want to adopt smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 strategies. It expands a true digital thread from design and engineering into manufacturing operations, and supports the entire product lifecycle from manag-ing production workflows and providing operator guidance, advanced electronic work instructions (EWIs) and quality inspection tools to complete traceability of operations and material.

Built on the Siemens Opcenter Execution Core, Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics is an easy-to-use and digital-enterprise-ready manufacturing execution system (MES) that provides stellar scalability, performance and configurability for global PCB and box-build operations, as well as enhanced integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP), product lifecycle man-agement (PLM), manufacturing operations management (MOM) and automation technologies.

Build products right the first timeWith a seamless integration with PLM solutions like Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics Process Prep, Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics accelerates new product introduction (NPI) and change management activities, while ensuring as-designed manufacturing processes with paperless operations. Each potential design or engineering issue identified on the shop floor is efficiently managed with closed-loop feedbacks to the PLM system. With the integrated Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics, PCB and box-build manufacturers implement

streamlined NPI processes and establish flexible operations to support product changes and early improvements. This includes:

• Intelligent NPI data import from Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics Process Prep and out-of-the-box (OOTB) manufacturing workflows management

• Serial number management for PCB and panels

• Integration with labeling machines and label printers

• Manufacturing dispatching and visibility

Manage shop floor complexity and improve efficiencySiemens Opcenter Execution Electronics combines best-in-class and OOTB manu-facturing execution capabilities for PCB and box-build processes in just one solution. The standardized, high-perfor-mance and user-friendly functionalities in Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics enable material, equipment, processes and operators to be used as defined by the engineering department, and provides full traceability and easy access to as-built data. Electronics manufacturers can benefit from improved management of shop floor complexity, while enhancing efficiency levels and reducing trainings and main-tenance costs, including:

• Shop floor documentation and EWI

• Statistical process control (SPC) and pass/fail in-quality tests

• Automated optical inspections (AOI) with graphical defect logging

• Guided repair actions and repair support

• Smart scanning, auto recognition

• Efficient shop floor data collection and automation layer control

• Genealogy recording and complete manufacturing traceability

• OOTB and custom operational reports: work-in-process (WIP), defects and production quality, com-ponent traceability and serial number genealogy

Optimize production capacity with intelligent plans and schedules Siemens Opcenter Execution Core Scheduling software provides an OOTB, advanced scheduling solution that includes the interfaces to Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics and Siemens Opcenter Scheduling Electronics. With Siemens Opcenter Execution Core Scheduling, PCB and box-build manufacturers generate optimized and detailed production plans and schedules to efficiently balance demand and capacity across surface-mount technology (SMT), mechanical and assembly lines in just one solution. This seamless integration enables electronics manufacturers to implement efficient, responsive and flexible facto-ries to respond to the ever changing customer demand:

• Visualization of the current produc-tion capacity load and potential problems

• What-if analysis and scenarios to ana-lyze the impact of production changes and unexpected events

• Generation of detailed plans or a group of plans

• Distribution of the work orders across the different production lines

Consistent and flexible material flowMaterial management inside the factory occurs in various places and levels, requiring different types of support in order to efficiently keep track of inven-tory levels. Siemens Opcenter Execution

Electronics, integrated with Siemens Opcenter Execution Electronics Materials, addresses this need, offering just-in-time (JIT) technology to provide a consistent material flow to the pro-duction lines based on demand. The solution provides electronics manufac-turers with a flexible solution to address every specific production need, helping them to significantly reduce inventory, provide a smooth manufacturing flow, and eliminate bottlenecks and unex-pected delays, including:

• Tight machine integration and precise inventory management to eliminate buffer stocks and guesswork

• Accurate and up-to-date information on the number of parts consumed, wasted and remaining on every carrier

• Advanced JIT technology to anticipate order completion and feed exhaust points, upcoming changeovers and operational constraints
